Never Neglect Your Hens
Like human beings hens require toning up for best results. Just as the human system needs the periodic assistance of a Tonic to keep it functioning properly, so a hen, facing a season of heavy demands upon its physical resources, will benefit enormously from similar attention. There appears to be little dispute of the statement that the health of a flock has an importance upon egg production scarcely realised by hundreds of poultry keepers. They observe the hen to be "off colour" but are satisfied to give her no special attention apart perhaps from an extra ration of feed. This is just what the ripening pullet or the older hen does not want. She needs something to purify her blood to help her recover from the moulting period, and to enable her to convert her food into bodily health. Feeding up alone wont give best results at this time of the year but good food plus a spoonful of approved Poultry Tonic will work wonders with the flock.
